Just in case you haven’t heard: the end of Game of Thrones? It’s going to be emotional.
We’ve already heard countless testimonies and predictions from cast members, producers and even fans about how the concluding season of the HBO hit show will test both tear ducts and Kleenex distributors around the world.
And now we’ve learned how Emilia Clarke reacted after filming her final scenes as Daenerys Targaryen – by shedding ‘loads of tears’ and drinking a more-than-healthy serving of wine.
‘That was the moment I realised that alcohol can also be a depressant,’ she told the Press Association. ‘I was kind of nursing a glass of wine going, “I don’t know why I’m not getting any happier from this!”‘
Clarke also said that there was an ‘equal amount of fear’ in terms of comparing how she felt filming her first GoT scene with her last.
The star later recalled how she walked around London ‘aimlessly’ for three hours after learning Daenerys’ fate in the final season for the first time.
‘It might as well have been raining and I would’ve just walked in it not knowing what to do,’ she said.
Damn – so what could this mean for Dany? Will her reign as the Queen of Dragons go up in smoke, or will she ride to victory?
Clarke has also been vocal about how GoT has empowered women since it’s been on the air, saying: ‘It has gone a way to changing the landscape of the industry as we see it, which is really vital and really important.’
Game Of Thrones returns April 15 on Sky Atlantic and NOW TV.
